In this book, Thomas Adams Upchurch presents the true story of a
white youth's experiences with race relations in the early years of
integration in Mississippi. Upchurch, a first-generation product of
the integrated public schools in Mississippi, describes what it was
like to be white in a public school that was 70% black. The book
offers a glimpse into the triumphs, challenges, and failures of
integration in the 1970s and 1980s and beyond, from one 'white
minorityOs' perspective. By analyzing the factors of prejudice,
academics, sports, masculinity, religion, and attempts at racial
reconciliation, this book vividly shows why race relations must be
kept in the context of the larger picture of southern life and
society. It hopes to bring more attention to this little-discussed
and infrequently written-about period and topic of American
history.
